I've heard them called the Z Senshi so I dunno if it's only a dub thing.

Well, that just depends.

How recently did you hear that?

It makes sense though; the only really big battle they all participated in was the original Saiyan Invasion. Everything else they we're training alone, trying to do things by themselves.

I still wonder, why the name Z Fighters? Like, why specifically the letter Z?

Because of "Dragon Ball Z" which started in Japan by the way.

I know, but in the show itself what is the reason? The addition of Z to the title was because of miscommunication between Toriyama and the anime people, I believe, right?

I figure it was probably something like "Naruto: Shippuden" many years later. Entering a new stage so trying to be "edgy" or something.

It could have just been a miscommunication thing.

Right, makes sense. But in the show itself, what is the reason for Goku and the rest of them to use the term Z Fighters?

Yeah. Looking back at it in hindsight, they were always scattered around doing their own thing until something brought them all together again (tournaments, the Saiyan invasion, etc).

They were never really a team of heroes. Just a group of friends and martial artists who happened to be the only ones who could fight the worst threats to their planet.....

And by that, I meant they all die horribly and Goku saves the day.

[up][up]I don't think the term ever comes up in the show itself.

You mean they all die horribly, and Goku either saves the day or dies trying.

Excuse me but all Goku did was nearly kill everyone, including his allies. It was Oolong who saved the day.

Same, I'm just laughing at how silly the situation was.

May I also add that Oolong's English voice is probably the best voice they could have ever given him. It just fits so well.

You can be glad the world got saved, and still hate Oolong for being a piece of shit.

Seems logical to me.

Cheer for that specific world saving action of the character, not the character's own merit of which he has none.

Or just go by the English dub of the scene where he was just going to steal the Dragon Ball and her panties.

I like Stalin for helping to fight against the Nazis. I don't like Stalin for being a sociopathic madman and a paranoid genocidal dictator.

So I just got Battle of Gods on DVD to take with me when I go to visit my family in Mexico this Christmas.

This movie is so fucking awesome, I just have to gush over it. I mean, Beerus is awesome, it's funny as hell, the fighting animation is amazing, Vegeta humiliates himself, the Pilaf gang come back, HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
